Covering a wide range of artists, genres and scenes, including disco, LA/Solar Records, Minneapolis/Prince, boogie, New York electro/post-disco, Britfunk, Jam & Lewis, movie/promo influence and mid-80s pop.

  In Key to the City, legal scholar and architect Sara C. Bronin examines how zoning became such a prevailing force and reveals its impact—and its potential for good. Outdated zoning codes have maintained racial segregation, prioritized cars over people, and enabled great ecological harm. But, as Bronin argues, once we recognize the power of zoning, we can harness it to create the communities we desire, and deserve. Drawing on her own experience leading the overhaul of Hartford's zoning code and exploring the efforts of activists and city planners across the country, Bronin shows how new codes are reshaping our cities—from Baltimore to Chicago, Las Vegas to Minneapolis, and beyond. In Boston, a law fought for by a passionate group of organizers, farmers, and beekeepers is transforming the city into a haven for urban farming. In Tucson, zoning codes are mitigating the impacts of climate change and drought-proofing neighborhoods in peril. In Delray Beach, Florida, a new code aims to capture and maintain the town's colorful spirit through its architecture. 
   
   
   
  With clarity and insight, Bronin demystifies the power of an inscrutable organizing force in our lives and invites us to see zoning as a revolutionary vehicle for change. In Key to the City, she puts forward a practical and energizing vision for how we can reimagine our communities.

  Mississippian Culture -...

  The Mississippian culture, a sophisticated and influential civilization, thrived in the southeastern United States from approximately 800 CE to 1600 CE. This culture, named after the Mississippi River, was centered around the river valleys and floodplains of the American Midwest, particularly in areas that are now parts of modern-day Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi. It is best known for its massive earthworks, especially mounds, which were used for both ceremonial and burial purposes. The Mississippian people developed a complex society that was marked by large-scale agriculture, intricate trade networks, and powerful political and religious institutions. 
  The origins of the Mississippian culture can be traced back to the earlier Woodland period, during which smaller villages and simple mound-building practices began to emerge. By around 800 CE, however, the Mississippian culture had fully developed, distinguished by its highly organized cities, monumental architecture, and wide-reaching trade connections. The Mississippians were expert farmers, cultivating staple crops such as maize, beans, and squash, which allowed their settlements to flourish and grow in both size and complexity. 
  One of the most notable features of the Mississippian culture was its social and political structure. The culture was organized around large chiefdoms, with powerful leaders who held both political and religious authority. These chiefs often resided in large, fortified towns that served as hubs of trade, governance, and religious activity. The largest and most famous of these urban centers was Cahokia, located near present-day St. Louis, Missouri. At its height, Cahokia had a population of over 10,000 people, making it one of the largest urban centers in pre-Columbian North America.

  Music, Lyrics, and Life is the songwriting class you always wish you'd taken, taught by the professor you always wish you'd had. It's a deep dive into the heart of questions asked by songwriters of all levels, from how to begin journaling to when you know that a song is finished. With humor and empathy, acclaimed singer-songwriter Mike Errico unravels both the mystery of songwriting and the logistics of life as a songwriter. For years, this set of tools, prompts, and ideas has inspired students on campuses including Yale, Wesleyan, Berklee, Oberlin, and NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. 
   
   
   
  Alongside his own lessons, Errico interviews the writers, producers, and A&R executives behind today's biggest hits and investigates the larger questions of creativity through lively conversations with a wide range of innovative thinkers: astrophysicist Janna Levin explains the importance of repetition, both in choruses and in the exploration of the universe; renowned painter John Currin praises the constraints of form, whether it's within a right-angled canvas or a three-minute pop song; bestselling author George Saunders unpacks the hidden benefit of writing, and revising, authentically; and much more. The result is that Music, Lyrics, and Life ends up revealing as much about the art of songwriting as it does about who we are, and where we may be going.
